AlphaGrep Mutual Fund expects to roll out its first set of New Fund Offers (NFOs) in the coming months, focusing on systematic equity strategies and rules based hybrid products.

The mutual fund business will be led by Bhautik Ambani, CEO of AlphaGrep Investment Management, who has been instrumental in scaling the firm's domestic asset management presence.

“Our mutual fund offerings will be 'Investing Engineered', merging human intuition with machine precision. We are grateful to SEBI for this opportunity, and as we step into the mutual fund arena, we look forward to partnering closely with the MFD community across the country. We are ready to show India that quantitative investing isn't just for the elite, it is for everyone who values a smarter, data driven future,” said Bhautik Ambani, CEO, AlphaGrep Investment Management.

With the launch of AlphaGrep Mutual Fund, the firm aims to "democratise the algorithm", offering retail investors access to sophisticated, systematic investment tools previously reserved for institutional players and ultra high net worth individuals.

Since its inception in 2010, AlphaGrep has evolved from a boutique quantitative trading desk into a global powerhouse, managing over Rs 8,500 crore as on February 28, 2026 globally and becoming one of the largest participants by volume on domestic exchanges.

The mutual fund arm will operate under the umbrella of AlphaGrep Investment Management Pvt Ltd (AGIM), which already manages over Rs 2,000 crore as on February 28, 2026 across its specialised AIF and PMS platforms, including GIFT City. The new vertical will focus on quant driven equity and hybrid strategies, powered by advanced mathematical models, AI and machine learning.

"Sixteen years ago, we started with a simple belief that math and technology could navigate markets more efficiently than intuition alone. Today, receiving this licence is a significant step forward in that journey. We are now opening those doors to every Indian investor. We are not just launching a fund, we are launching a more scientific way to grow wealth,” said Mohit Mutreja, Co-Founder and Chairman of AlphaGrep Group.
